Mar 1, 2024 12:00 AM

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) is seeking public participation and comment on a project to fund a stream restoration project on Nevada Creek (near Helmville) through the Future Fisheries Improvement Program. This project is phase 7 and would continue the restoration completed in upstream phases. Goals are to restore of natural stream and riparian function by reducing sediment loading and improving trout habitat with channel restoration, bank treatments, floodplain connectivity, wetland restoration, and aquatic habitat complexity. The project would incorporate side channel and meander activation, streambank treatments to address eroding banks, and floodplain grading. The goal is to improve instream, riparian, and upland habitat within a working landscape to benefit aquatic species.
